7 things you didn’t know about lefties

It’s old news the left-handers are the odd men out, it’s been proven to me almost every year when I tell someone I’m left handed and they automatically give me that astonished look, making me feel like more of an anomaly than I already am. But does anyone get why we’re so special? Here’s 7 answers to that exact question.

Lefties get angrier quicker. It’s been proven by scientists that lefties are usually more prone to negative emotions, anger being a big one. A study by the “Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease” states why.

We just elected a leftie for his second term as president! Go Obama!

Lefties make better artist. This is probably one of the more known fables surrounding us left-handers, but it’s true! According to research done by the “American Journal of Psychology” lefties have the upper hand when it comes to pressing a brush to canvas, this all has to do with how we compartmentalize things in either side of our brain, and which side of the brain is stronger. For lefties it’s the right side of the brain, aka the “creative” side.

Don’t scare us. No really. Don’t. A study by the British Psychology Society had participants watch and eight minute clip from the horror film “Silence of the Lambs,” afterwards tests were conducted and showed that lefties were more likely to show signs of PTSD: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
